CHECK THE TW’S FOR CHRISSAKES OH MY GOD I WASNT READY
was expecting a promising young woman kind of vibe but this was something else entirely. honestly have no idea what to think. taddeo is gifted at painting a picture with words, just feels like this book was trauma porn. like not a single thing was pleasant in this , but i somehow couldn’t stop reading

taddeo’s prose is beautiful and punchy but this story was so disjointed to me and definitely lagged in some parts. i think a lot of it read as kind of trauma porn almost ? definitely check the TWs. i guess i understand the hype around this book but it just did not land for me.

Sheesh. That was an emotionally exhausting book. The writing is brilliant, every single word feels intentional. There were so many sentences or paragraphs I highlighted as powerful insights. The story, however, is brutal. Uncomfortable, painful, infuriating. I am glad I read this so I can say I’ve experienced Taddeo’s prose but I’m not in a rush to read anything else from her.
